What is Tungsten Replicator (AMI)?

Tungsten Replicator for Kafka Targets is a replication engine that provides high-performance and improved replication functionality into Apache Kafka. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the "Tungsten Replicator for MySQL Sources" AMI to provide a full end-to-end, real-time, data replication pipeline.

Alternatively, it is also available as a stand-alone, commercial product with support that can be downloaded from the Continuent website with a valid customer agreement.

What does Tungsten Replicator do?

Tungsten Replicator provides data replication from MySQL, MariaDB & Percona Server, including Amazon RDS MySQL and Amazon Aurora, to high-performance data analytics engines to derive insight from big data for better business decisions.

More specifically, it supports real-time data replication into MySQL (all versions), Oracle, PostgreSQL, AWS RedShift, Cassandra, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, MongoDB, Kafka and Vertica. We have an AMI for each of these targets available here on AWS.

This AMI supports replication into Apache Kafka only, and requires a running Zookeeper instance.

Who typically uses Tungsten Replicator?

Tungsten Replicator customers are typically SaaS, e-commerce, financial services, gaming and telco companies who rely on MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server (and Continuent) to cost-effectively safeguard billions of dollars annual revenue.
